Hey there, recently built my first pneumatic with a sprinkler valve which is awesome. Now I am making a 2" piston valve gun. I was able to create the piston already from plywood discs and some rubber. However, now I have to create the gun. Here is my design:

I have three questions though...
Will it work? If so how could the design be better? Finally, how would I make the 1" barrel go into the 2"? I think the answer for the third one is with a coupler and file down the inside, but I'm not sure.

(and yes, the picture is terrible.)

Still, how do I put in the 1" barrel?
